Increase your acceleration, maximum speed, and endurance! Speed for Sports Performance provides the tools to build a program for your specific needs, sports, and goals.

Through a series of self-assessments, you will identify areas of improvement and establish a baseline for training regimens. Then, improve such key areas as reaction time, technique, stride, mobility, and first-step explosiveness with variable, resisted, and assisted speed training exercises. And if recovering from injury, alternative training methods are included to aid in rehabilitation and help prevent future injuries.

Sample training programs may also be customized to a sport’s seasonal workout schedule and position demands. Best of all, these four-season programs and workouts may also be printed from the DVD, so you can take instruction directly to the field, court, or gym. Developed by speed training expert John Cissik, the Speed for Sports Performance DVD will help improve your performance like no other resource available.

Human Kinetics DVDs are coded for universal playback and can be played in all regions of the world.

Physical Literacy on the Move was written to help educators of children and youths from grades K through 12 teach high-quality and fun games and activities that support the unique needs of their learners as they develop physical literacy.

Most coaching books start with a discussion of the importance of creating a coaching philosophy and follow up with a section on creating goals. But to define a coaching philosophy and set goals, you must first understand and express why you coach and what principles will guide how you coach.

"I don’t know, Mom, I just feel burned out." As a parent, what would you do if you heard this? We all have a vague understanding of burnout, but should we advise our kids to drop out, take a break, make some changes, or suck it up?
